UNETIED fiTAT JOSEPH YASSENOVSKY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

WEATHER STBIPPING.

Application filed .Tune 17, 1921.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JosnrH YASSENOVSKY, a citizen of United States, residing at Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Weather Stripping, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to weather stripping and the principal object is to produce metal weather strip means for the sashes which may be secured in place with the minimum amount of nailing and from which the window sash may be readily removed when it is desired to do so for any reason.

Another object is to produce a device of this nature which may be readily and quickly secured in place.

Another object is to produce a device of this kind whereby a spring tension may be placed against the window sash so as to compensate for changes in size of the sash frame due to moisture.

With these and other objects in view which will be more apparent as the specification proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel construction, and combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, and are illustrated in the accompanyin drawing, in which I Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of the window structure showing the weather stripping.

Figure 2 is a similar view of the same showing the sashes removed from the window frame.

Figure 3 is a View similar to Figure 1 showing another form of my invention.

Like characters of reference refer to like parts in all views.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 10 represents the window frame which is of the usual construction, 11 is the upper sash, 12 is the lower sash, 13 is the parting strip and 1.4 is the window stop, all of which are well known in the art.

In the form shown in Figures 1 and 2, 15 represents a strip of sheet metal which is bent into a U-shaped guide or runway at 16 and which may be secured to the window and frame 10 by screws or other suitable securing means. A strip of metal 17 is secured in the upper sash 11 and has a finger Serial No. 478,390.

or flange 18 extending therefrom into the way 16' so as to slide freely therein.

A strip of metal is bent so as to form a foot 19 and an inwardly facing guide or way 20 and is secured to the window frame by havingthe parting strip 13 forced in against the foot 19 which is placed in the bottom of the slot 21 in the frame 10, usually provided for the reception of the parting strip. Beyond the way 20, the strip of metal is bent as at 21 so as to form a spring tension means and at its inner edge forms a way 22.

Slidable in the way 22 is a strip 23 having an extended finger 24 which rests against the sash 12 so as to hold it in place and present a smooth surface against which said sash may slide. place by the sash 12 and stop 14. The window stop 14 is secured to the frame 10 by means of screws 25 or other securing devices and presses against the way 22 and the finger 24 so as to hold these in proper position and relation. This stop strip 2324 permits stop 14 to be positioned far enough from the sash to permit the same to move easily under all changes of weather conditions which cause slight swelling of the stop 14.

Sash 12 is cut away at 26 so as to provide room for the way 20 and a member 27 is nailed or otherwise secured to the sash 12 at this point and provided with a finger 28 to slide in the way 20.

In the form shown in Figure 3, the mem ber 1516 is dispensed with and in its place a member 29 is provided having way 30 similar to the way 20 and having a foot 31 to be held in place by the parting strip 13. In this instance, the sash 11 is provided with a member 32 having a finger 33 adapted to slide in the way 30 and member 29 is bowed out at 34 so as to form a spring contact similar to that above described at 21. The members 23 and 15 permit swelling of the sashes 11 and 12 without causing the same to stick.

It will be obvious that from this manner of construction, I have provided a window construction in which the sashes may be readily and quickly removed and replaced without injury to any of the parts, and that there is provided a positive anti-rattle and anti-leak means, and a draft stop.

What is claimed as new is 1. A window construction comprising a window frame, a sash, a window stop, a

The member 23 is held in parting strip,a metal slide secured to said sash and formed with a laterally extended ceiving the finger of said @slide, said member having tensioning means en agea ble with said sash irrespective of the c angeslnnsize of the same.

2. A window construction comprisinga window frame, a sash, a window stop, a parting strip, ametalslidesecured to said sash and formed with a laterally extended finger, a member'se'cured-to said window frame by said window stop and said parting strip and provided with a run-way for receiving the finger of'said" slide, and. a metallic strip 3. 'A window construction comprising a 7 window frame, a sash, a window stop, a partingstrip, a metal slide secured to said sash and formed with a laterallyextended finger, almember secured to said wlndow frame by said window stop and said partingstrip and provided with a runway for receiving the finger of said slide, and formed with a bowed portion for the springy engagement with the edge of said sash.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature.
